Citizens For Health Statement Regarding Current Action Request

The CDC says “By law, parents, guardians, or patients must be given information in writing about the risks and benefits of vaccination before a vaccine is administered.” The CDC also recognizes that: “All states offer medical exemptions (individuals who are immune-compromised, have allergic reactions to vaccine constituents, have moderate or severe illness, etc.).”

It is our policy to oppose all mandatory vaccinations and to support all exemptions, religious, philosophical and medical. If these exemptions were required for the swine flu program, which is what our action seeks, then the swine flu vaccination would be voluntary – which is our objective. If informed consent were also required, which our action seeks, this would further emphasize the point that all vaccinations should be voluntary–i.e. there should be no vaccine mandates. “No vaccine mandates” is our position. Our action alert is designed to advance this outcome. We would be delighted to receive from you any suggestions about additional ways that our shared objective of prohibiting all vaccine mandates might be achieved.

Trump won. Electoral vote 306; popular vote 62,693,993. Clinton lost. Electoral vote 232; popular vote 65,260,513 (and counting). (CNN, Dec 5, 2016). “Voter Eligible Population That Didn’t Vote: 95,899,115 (41.4 percent of total eligible voters.)…there were 251,107,404 people who classify as members of the voting-age population; therefore 115,449,897 of the voting-age population (or 46.3 percent) did not vote.” (Click here for reference). The voting age population includes non-eligible voters such as 2.5 million felons, thus the difference between voting age population and eligible voters.

America has a representative government. Voters elect leaders who appoint civil servants, and they implement ‘public policy’. This works for much public business, but in areas involving social services—school reform, drug rehabilitation, criminal justice, race relations, poverty and even security policy, results fall far short of aspirations.

Progressive critics of President-Elect Trump are producing a blizzard of warnings about authoritarianism both in the President-Elect and in many of his followers. They are right to be concerned about anti-democratic sentiment from any source. Similar authoritarianism can be part of mass demonstrations against the new administration. We need to worry about this.

This is important to millions of others out there and the public cannot support any measure if they are not kept informed on the progress or stages of a lawsuit. It’s not like we can follow this like a bill.

The nutritional value of ingredients consumed in commonly eaten foods today is minimal compared to what your body needs to function. Essential elements for health have been stripped in favour of economical demand, resulting in more chemical enhancers, preservatives, additives and contaminants in your food and drink. Even your water and the air you breathe contain pollutants.
